Complexities of Teaching: Child-Centred Perspectives

This timely book illustrates how, contrary to popular belief, child-centered teaching can be structured, supportive and guiding. Grounded in research and richly illustrated with voices of experience from teachers practicing child-centered teaching, the author shows how child-centered teachers successfully combine the best elements from both traditional and progressive methods of teaching. This detailed and readable study will be of interest to teachers, researchers and policy makers alike.
